Florida 23, Arkansas 20
Posted by Huckleberry on October 17th, 2009 under Football
Discuss.
The officiating in this one was amazingly one-sided and the “unnecessary roughness” call against the Arkansas d-lineman in the 4th quarter was one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. Completely inexcusable.
Thoughts?

Patrick, from a personality standpoint Clausen isn’t exactly likeable. I think the perception of him having leadership or other intangible issues is really tied to the fact that many people just don’t like the kid. The same discussion went on to some degree amongst the ND fan base his 1st two seasons.

They gave Florida a 30 yard boost.
And the ref five feet from the personal foul didn’t throw his flag. The Florida linemen peels back and tries to cheap shot the Arkansas player, and they flag the Arkansas player for seeing it coming and defending himself.

As I said on the other thread, it makes me feel a teeny-tiny bit better about our struggles. I don’t have a logical reason for it other than that FL is another team that isn’t supposed to be struggling.
Looks like ‘Bama might be the clear #1 after tonight if they take care of S.C. Can’t say they won’t deserve it.

That was the same comment I had during the game. I was expecting the chains to be pulled a yard past the ball. When it was a first I was like, “WTF?”
I thought maybe the first down line had just been wrong, but no, they spotted the ball on that play inside the 18 yard line.
That crew has serious problems. 2nd tight game this year that has totally gotten away from them (the UGA/LSU game being the first).

Well, that game couldn’t have been giftwrapped any nicer for St. Tebow; it’s like the refs didn’t even care that everybody in the entire nation could see what fucking bullshit calls those were, they were gonna make ‘em because Florida was going to by God win this fucking game. Pathetic. Aside from anyone using their own eyes, you know the calls were wrong when the dumbshit CBS announcers removed their tongues from Tebow’s anus long enough to actually question them. I’m sure they’ll be reprimanded by CBS brass for it.

“By the way, that was the same crew that the SEC has already had to apologize for after the LSU/UGA game.”
Wow, if true those guys should be fired. Isn’t one of the basic tenets of officiating to not interject themselves into the last 5 or 10 minutes of a close football game? Only call obvious plays? They not only made two blatantly bad calls, pass interference and personal four for roughness, they missed an offensive pass interference by Florida on one of their last 2 drives.

To make this situation even more annoying, when you look at yahoo/rival’s sports page this morning you see these two headlines.

I’m a Gator alum and *I* was embarrassed by those two 15 yard penalties against Arkansas on the final drive. But then again, perhaps its a little karma for Bobby Petrino for abandoning every program he’s coached in the last 10 years (who quits on a pro team with a month left in the season?!) Too bad his current players have to suffer.
But I have to respect the Hogs — they came to win. Gators need to wake up and stop acting like a #1 ranking means that you automatically win. This game and (if) Alabama moves into #1 might be just what the doctor ordered.

The bad call on the FLA lineman getting deservedly punked.
Anything else?
Texas_Dawg said:

Anything else?
The no call on the Riley Cooper offensive pass interference. Tebow threw the ball up for grabs in the endzone and only because of Cooper’s interference was the ball not picked off. Would have been 2nd & 25 at the UF 45 with 1:00 left. Instead, it was 3rd & 10 and Tebow hit Cooper for 12 yards and the first down in FG range.

Apparently the CBS LOS and first down lines were off by about a yard. It was still a very favorable spot for Florida though as the yardage marker was inside the 19 and he was clearly down about a half yard short.
Duck-dunker said:
October 19th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
The SEC came out and said, this was a badly called game. The CBS anouncers needed to get their heads out of their a**’s. It was like they’d never seen a football game before. As the coach said today in an interview, Coaches don’t have the 1st amendment rights to questions the SEC. I wish some of these sports anouncers would ask Teabue “So are you going to depend on the Ref’s helping you this game like they did the last?” Or, “Have you gueys been making fun of your offensive lineman for getting punked while trying to throw a cheap shot?” Or, “How can you say with a strait face, your a Heisman canidate, when on five different accations the zebras helped you out by giving you 46 1/2 yards on your final drives?” But they wont.
